The Roswell Report: Case Closed

US Air Force · 1997 · 234 pages · text from the file's own layer

The Roswell Report: Case Closed is a 1997 US Air Force report written by Captain James McAndrew, with a foreword by Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall. It follows up the 1994 report, which found that the 1947 debris came from the balloon project MoGUL. It concludes that the reported alien bodies were probably anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from high altitude balloons. It attributes the hospital body claims to a 1956 KC-97 crash and a 1959 manned balloon mishap.

the one who told me she heard there was a plane crash and the nurses went
down on a training mission." 82
The testimony appeared to clearly identify by name, rank, position,
physical attributes and by a distinctive nickname, "Slatts," another nurse present
at the hospital in July 1947. But a review of the morning reports of the Roswell
AAF hospital for July 1947 did not contain the name of a nurse, or anyone else,
named Wilson. 83 The only female captain assigned to the Roswell AAF Hospital
in July 1947 was the Chief Nurse Capt. Joyce Goddard. 84 Goddard, who was
5'6" tall, was transferred from Roswell AAF to Korea on August 21, 1947.85
Therefore, according to Dennis' recollection of events, this review of
the morning reports indicated that there were two missing nurses, not one-
"Lieutenant Naomi Selff'' and "Captain 'Slatts' Wilson." Further scrutiny of
personnel records of individuals assigned to the Roswell AAF/Walker AFB
hospital indicated that Dennis'recollections of events were apparently inaccurate.
Examination of the August 1947 morning reports did not list a nurse
named Wilson, but they did list a nurse named Slattery. 86 Captain Lucille
C. Slattery, who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel and is now deceased, was
reassigned from Ft. George Wright, Wash. to RoswellAAF on August 7, 1947.87

Slattery, the only Air Force
nurse ever known as "Slatts,"
served as a captain at the
Roswell AAF/Walker AFB
hospital from August 1947 to
September 1950. Records
indicate that Slattery did not
arrive at Roswell AAF until
one month after the "Roswell
Incident," in direct
contradiction to statements
made by the sole witness to
this account.
